A big corporation tries to take over the asteroids in this fast-paced 1958 novelette, and they'll stop at nothing to get control. The conclusion, in which the corporate fatcat risks his own neck on behalf of the company, seems harder to believe than the rest of it. While the plot of corporate chicanery is, unfortunately, still timely, the execution is a little dated.

A well-written story about the quest for star travel. Just enough action and intrigue to keep it interesting. Amazing that this story was written back in the 50's since most stories from that era were drivel. Very, very, very refreshing not to have to deal with foul language.
